Value of: JVR for Adam Henrique

[Mugzy97]

Do people just look up players hometowns and then throw up a trade proposal swapping them back to their hometowns? That's what this is and it's not the first time it's happened.

Leafs don't need Henrique. Value doesn't even need to be discussed. They need a RD with top 2 potential and if JVR is moved, it is for someone of that ilk.

Matthews for Henrique 1 for 1? What does Toronto add?

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Toronto would need to add, even then I doubt NJ gives up Henrique.

Bozak for Henrique and Leafs don't do it unless NJ adds because there is no reason to move our guy.

Toronto does not add.

Ignoring team needs, as this is what the OP has seemingly done, value favours NJ.

Obviously a Toronto fan who proposed this deal to begin with but how do you figure the value favors NJ? Henrique has the better stats.

 

[Liferleafer]

Absolutely.

But trading JVR leaves the Leafs with very little in the way of veteran top-line talent to anchor the team while the rookies grow. I do agree though, if he goes it's for a steady top four presence.

Oh i'm not advocating moving JVR, i'm just saying if we do, we should target our biggest need.

Really? Which ones?

 

[mashedpotato]

Log.
Jam.
At.
Centre.

Say it with me because it doesn't seem clear.

 

[MoonDragn]

Really? Which ones?

4 mil salary vs 4.75 for starters.

 

[AINEC*]

Really? Which ones?

Games played for New Jersey.

Henrique: 349 GP
JVR: 0 GP

Pretty easy choice here, boys.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Totally agree, Neither team touches this deal.

 

[Liferleafer]

4 mil salary vs 4.75 for starters.

Salary is a stat now? Cool.....

 

[MoonDragn]

Only stat that really matters for the production you are getting.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

they basically have identical PPG average for their careers....

Henrique- 203 points in 349 regular season games (0.58 PPG), 13 points in 24 playoff games (0.54 PPG)
JVR- 277 points in 446 regular season games (0.62 PPG), 22 points in 46 playoff games (0.48 PPG)

Henrique plays the tougher position and is more of a 2-way player than JVR. He is also signed for 1 year longer and for less money AAV than JVR

Good thing JVR produces more then i guess....


Henrique-.58PPG
JVR-.62PPG

I agree, for me as a Leafs fan, the only reason i pass is due to need....we don't need more centers, we need D. Has nothing to do with Henrique as a player...

As far as hometown boy, i live 5 minutes from Henriques home town of Burford Ontario...i guess i should favor him....

 

[Ben Matlock]

For the Leafs, Henrique would be a slight downgrade as a LW, and they don't need any more centers.

LW is the Devils' strongest position (Hall, Cammalleri, Boucher...). They would be worse off trading someone capable of playing #1/2 C for a guy who is a pure left winger.

Value is close, but it makes both teams worse.

 

[JetsHomer]

I'll take the 50 point twoway center over the 55 point winger who's terrible defensively

 

[Jets012]

Henrique's the better player. NJ doesn't do this.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Relatively even in a vacuum, but team needs are a reality. And in that reality neither team does this.

 

[go4hockey]

Swap of hometown players.

Thoughts?

Congrats this trade is very bad for both teams. NJ would have huge holes at center with this. And the Leafs have tons of centers but no wingers. Fail all the way around.

 

[Zippy316]

Neither team does this.

They're not that far off from each other, but Toronto does not need another center and Devils don't need another offensive left winger with questionable defense.

 

[Mad Brills*]

If the leafs are trading JVR it's either for prospects and picks or a RHD top 4 dman.

 

[BlueBaron]

Even though everyone knows JVR is not on the market http://www.thescore.com/news/937142 the Leafs will naturally change their position to get a centre we don't need.
